<p>does this schedule look doable?</p>
<p>cs 61bl
math 54
music 26ac
nutri sci 10</p>
<p>15 units in all. will the cs and math class together be too much? from my previous experience with the fall semester, cs 61a and math 1b were doable together, but i didn't get as good of grades as i hoped for. would it be better to take cs 61bl and 3 breadths, and take math 54 later on, like during the summer?</p>
<p>your schedule looks fine</p>
<p>good decision of you to take that cs 61bl over spring rather than in fall with hilfinger and getting somewhere around a C+ after putting in so much effort. i’m pretty sure you are a cs major and i think it can’t get more manageable than this.</p>
<p>thanks anon2528462.</p>
<p>@upmagic: yeah i heard from various people that hilfinger is an extremely hard professor. i am indeed an intended cs major, and thanks for the input.</p>
<p>ok… since aznmiget seems done i might as well hijack his thread. How about this schedule:</p>
<p>Math 1A
Math 1B
Economics 1
L&S C180: Language and Power (Discovery Course)</p>
<p>I took math 1A and B both since I have 1A pretty much covered. If I find that too hard i’ll just drop 1A. But i think i can handle it.</p>
<p>^ you seemed to have answered your questions regarding your courseload</p>
<p>um you should not and possibly cannot take 1A and 1B simultaneously. Drop one of them and add a fourth class</p>
<p>haha well ccnewbie, more input on my schedule wouldn’t hurt =P. i can see why you thought i was done though. as to your schedule, i also agree with anon2528462. just take one math.</p>
<p>You don’t want to take math 1a and 1b. Covering Calculus in high school is not the same.</p>
<p>You will face double the math hw, double the discussion sections, and double the tests. It will not be desirable. Drop one of them and find a replacement class.</p>
<p>ok thanks. i think i’ll be dropping 1a then. i wonder if any classes are open this late.</p>
<p>and OP - i took NST 10 last semester after hearing good reviews. My instructor was Nancy Amy. The class was just AWFULLY BORING. Practical class, but very boring. I ended up not going to a single class after the first few. Even her audiocast put me to sleep regularly. You might have a good experience with a different instructor though.</p>
<p>oh i see. my instructor is the same as yours, but i’m okay with it being boring. as long as it’s easy and practical haha. thanks for the info.</p>
<p>CCnewbie, Math 1A is definitely not going to be like high school calculus. Main difference: proofs. They will be the main focus of the course, so be prepared for a challenge. I don’t know your math background, but be forewarned that it likely won’t be a piece of cake like you make it sound. It might not be a bad idea to drop 1B instead, although I hear 1B is actually easier than 1A because it doesn’t have proofs.</p>
<p>ok, thanks for the input.</p>
<p>i’ve heard that 1A/B are among the hardest classes in Cal. How true is that?</p>
<p>depends on people i guess. if you can handle calculations and proofs, they should be fine. the hard sciences can be pretty difficult IMO, more so than math 1A/1B. and then there are the upper div math courses</p>
